Overview

About

Compounding Gems India Trust is a SEBI-registered Category III Alternative Investment Fund (reg. IN/AIF3/23-24/1452), registered in February 2024 and managed by Compounding Gems Capital Advisors LLP, a Kota, Rajasthan-based investment manager. The India Fund operates as an open-ended scheme investing primarily in Indian-listed equities and runs in parallel with a US-domiciled fund — Compounding Gems Aravalli Fund I, LP (a Delaware limited partnership) — which is registered as an investment advisor in Texas and Washington, USA. Together, the dual-jurisdiction platform enables both domestic and overseas investors to access the same India-focused long-only equity strategy through their respective geographies. The fund is led by Nitin Goyal and Saurabh Khandelwal, both IIT Kharagpur and IIM Lucknow alumni with deep backgrounds in private equity and investment management across India and the Middle East.

Investment philosophy

Compounding Gems is a value investor with an ownership mindset. The fund seeks to make long-term investments in businesses with strong fundamentals and outstanding promoters (majority shareholders) at an attractive valuation. The team prioritises trust and transparency and aims to deliver compounding returns over a long period of time. The strategy is anchored in the belief that the best returns come from owning exceptional Indian businesses and allowing compounding to work over time — avoiding speculative or short-term trading approaches in favour of conviction-led, concentrated long positions.
